Upsert failed when the record is updated instead of inserting, using on tables with id of number type.
Issue description
Using queryRunner.manager.upsert() on tables whose id's type is number will result in error: Cannot update entity because entity id is not set in the entity.
Expected Behavior
The upsert runs successfully.
Actual Behavior
Error thrown: Cannot update entity because entity id is not set in the entity., in ReturningResultsEntityUpdator.insert()
const entityIds = entities.map((entity) => {
const entityId = metadata.getEntityIdMap(entity);
// We have to check for an empty `entityId` - if we don't, the query against the database
// effectively drops the `where` clause entirely and the first record will be returned -
// not what we want at all.
if (!entityId) {
throw new error_1.TypeORMError(`Cannot update entity because entity id is not set in the entity.`);
}
return entityId;
});The upsert should run properly if the id's type is bigint, and fail with other types, since in ColumnMetadata.createValueMap(), it converts a field value to string if
this.generationStrategy === "increment" ||
this.generationStrategy === "rowid") &&
this.type === "bigint" &&
value !== nullThe process update instead of inserting the record, so insert_id will be undefined. Hence, the upsert will not throw the aforementioned error if the id is of bigint type, as the id will appear as "undefined".
Steps to reproduce
Create a table Test with id as follow:
@PrimaryGeneratedColumn("increment")
id: number;and a unique pair of keys
@Index(["key1", "key2"], { unique: true })
...
@Column()
key1: string;
@Column()
key2: string;finally a value field for upserting:
@Column()
value: string;Then just run queryRunner.manager.upsert(Test, {key1: "a", key2: "b", value, "c"}, ["key1", "key2"]) (run 2 times if the record isn't in the table)
